Asia eats

Before we went into 물냉면 restaurant for lunch, I happened to glance up the road and saw what looked like a sign with a pour-over coffee setup on it. I assumed it was a decent cafe and made a mental note to come back to it after we were done eating. An hour later our … Continue reading →

Hello friends! I have officially touched down in Korea; after 20 grueling hours of travel, 2 layovers, and a bus ride later, I am safely at my grandparents house, relaxing before I go off WWOOFing for a month. In the 24 hours that I’ve been here, Korea has already been so good to me. It’s … Continue reading →

I know, I know; I came home 2 days ago so this post is most definitely overdue. But with all the running around I’ve been doing, going to the doctor’s, the orthodontist’s, and shopping for college I haven’t had time to blog since I’ve come back to the States. I won’t be blogging for a … Continue reading →

I’M HOMEEEEE!!!! That’s right folks, I’m back in New Jersey for the first time in 5 weeks. Wow, it feels good to be back; I’ve been going around hugging all my furniture because I missed my house so much.

It’s the biggest cafe that I’ve been to, with 2 floors and a 3rd one in the works. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but the people who work … Continue reading →

It feels like over the past month, I’ve explored almost every town, tourist attraction and shopping district that Seoul has to offer. But that’s OBVIOUSLY not true because just this past Saturday I went to a place called Samcheongdong that I’ve never heard of before. It’s actually really close to Insadong and the KyungBookGoong; you … Continue reading →

You guys must be getting sick of these multi-course Korean-fusion meals by now, since that’s pretty much the only thing I eat when I go out to meet relatives. Don’t get me wrong, it all tastes good, but it does get a little repetitive after a while and the courses are pretty similar. Since you … Continue reading →

Our last day at PyeongChang, the only thing we really did at Phoenix Park was check out of the hotel. Exciting, ain’t it? Yeah, well it’s about to get EVEN BETTER because the rest of that day was specially reserved for doing stuffs in the local PyeongChang area. Like going to a Korean Buddhist temple.
